The Daytona: December 16, 2002

Got the fuel tank to stop leaking, finally. The lock ring was definitely not tightened all the way, but I decided to drop the tank anyway and fix it right. The gasket was still in good condition, but I flared the sealing surface out a bit to make it squeeze the gasket harder, just in case. Also fixed the alignment tabs so the sender was oriented properly. I still need to do something about the connectors, as the gauge never shows full and I never get more than 10 gallons in when empty. There is also a grounding problem back there, I think, which may have something to do with it.
